What you need to know about top perfume notes is that they are what you will smell first when you apply any fragrance. So you can say that every perfume 'opens up' with its top notes. The sad part is that top notes usually last very short, somewhere in the range of a few minutes up to 15 minutes. Of course, some extreme cases leave this frame.

Heart notes

Heart notes are usually the reason why we actually love any perfume. That is because they make the perfume smell intense. You can smell them often as soon as you apply the fragrance and their scent lingers around you and changes as time goes on. Also, they stick around for much longer than top notes. When you combine all of these facts, you will understand why mid notes are usually the most important ingredients in every perfume.

When it comes to base notes, the story is a bit different. Base perfume notes are what gives 'depth' to any fragrance. Base notes are usually very strong and masculine, which enables them to last for ages. You will be able to smell base notes of perfume for hours after it stops grabbing attention around you. Of course, that is true in most cases. There are always cases that do not comply with this theory.

How does it perform?

People’s opinion matters, especially in the fragrance world. They can help you save your money if the fragrance you want is reformulated. Or maybe it does not last very long. Also, poor sillage is another issue that should be evaded. After inspecting all these pieces of information, you will for sure invest in the best performing perfume of your choosing. After all, fragrances are rather expensive commodities to invest in, so you should choose carefully. When looking at reviews, you should differentiate between constructive criticism and destructive criticism. Some people might not like perfume because it does not perform well, and others might not like the particular perfume note. That is why it is essential to let people know what you think about a specific fragrance in much detail and try to be as objective as possible. So, here are current perfume ratings for Fragonard Tour Eiffel.

Fragonard Perfume Museum, Paris

The Fragonard Perfume Museum Paris is a small museum dedicated to the world of perfumes. Originally opened in 1983, the Perfume Museum in Paris 9 was renovated in the last years by the historical fragrance-maker Fragonard and reopened as the Fragonard Musée du Parfum .

Considering that Paris is (together with Grasse) the world capital of perfumery and locals’ love for perfumes, the French capital could not stay with a museum dedicated to perfumes for long!

The Fragonard Perfume Museum of Paris is always free. The Perfume Museum is one of the best free museums in Paris so you cannot miss this wonderful museum!

Fragonard Perfume Paris – The Story

Parfumerie Fragonard was founded in 1926 in Grasse (South of France). Today, this family business is one of the last representatives of the perfumes’ craft tradition in the French capital.

In the fifties, Jean-Francois Costa (the father of the current managers) started collecting precious objects related to the world of perfumes and its history. This collection by a perfume-passionate is today the heart of the Museum’s collection.

Fragonard Museum Paris Part 1: How to Make Perfume

To visit the Perfume Museum it is necessary to join a guided tour in English or French. The guided tour lasts 20 minutes and it is free.

During the first part of the tour, scent lovers discover Fragonard’s “savoir-faire ” and how perfumes are made. In theory, anybody can be a maître parfumeur , it is a matter of studying and training. In France there are three schools dedicated to this art located in Paris, Versailles, and Grasse. Students try to memorize all the possible scents linking each one to a personal memory.

Fragonard Museum Paris Part 2: The History of Perfumery

During the second part of the visit the guide tells visitors about perfumery’s 3.000 years of history – from Ancient Egypt until our days -through beautiful ancient objects, images, and short videos.

It was interesting to learn, for example, that in different historical periods perfumes had different uses and purposes. We also learned that until the beginning of the 19th century, perfumes and their bottles were unique (made especially for one person). It was also at that time when the concept of male perfume and female perfume appeared for the first time. Until then, there were only summer perfumes and winter perfumes, without gender differences.

Perfume Shopping

The visit ends at Fragonard’s shop on the first floors where scent lovers can appreciate Fragonard’s most iconic perfumes. It was funny when the guide proposed us to try to guess the main scents for each perfume.

As you can see Fragonard’s perfumes are sold in tin (Ti) bottles. This was due to the lack of glass after the Second World War. Tin turned to be an excellent option because tin protects perfumes from light, heat, and humidity much better than glass.

Fragonard shop proposes interesting offers if you buy different perfumes.

Fragonard Perfume Museum  was a beautiful discovery. The visit was very interesting and its location is very beautiful. If you are interested in the world of scents, this is the museum for you.

Paris Perfume Museum – Practical Info

The Fragonard Museum is tucked away in an elegant square of Paris 9, not far from the Opéra de Garnier. You can find this museum at 3-5 Square de l’Opéra Louis Jouvet, Paris 75009.

You can reach the museum by metro, Opéra metro station (lines 3, 7 and 8).

The free guided visits are in English and French. They start every 15 minutes and they last 20 minutes.

15 essential things to know about the Eiffel Tower

Wednesday 4 March 2020

Modified the 27/12/23

Who built the Eiffel Tower?

The Eiffel Tower was built from 1887 to 1889 by French engineer Gustave Eiffel , whose company specialized in building metal frameworks and structures. Gustave Eiffel is at the origin of many metallic works in Europe including the Porto Viaduct (Portugal), the Viaduct du Garabit (France) and the Budapest train station (Hungary).

Gustave Eiffel's company, that was located in Levallois Perret, very near Paris, France, also built the metal framework for another world-famous monument: the Statue of Liberty (New York, United States), designed by Auguste Bartholdi and offered to the United States as a gift from France to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence in 1886.

What kind of metal is the Eiffel Tower made of?

The Eiffel Tower is made of iron, not steel. The puddle iron that makes up the Eiffel Tower's structure came from the Pompey forges (East of France). The iron plates and beams produced through the puddling process were then preassembled in the Eiffel factories in Levallois Perret using rivets.

Finally, these pieces were taken to the Eiffel Tower construction site to be mounted. The prefab system is what allowed them to build the Eiffel Tower in a record time of 2 years, 2 months and 5 days.

What is puddle iron?

The iron used to build the Eiffel Tower went through a refining process called puddling which eliminated the excess carbon when the ore was melted. Following this process, you obtain almost pure iron, which was, according to Gustave Eiffel at that time, the best and most robust of materials .

To protect it from corrosion, the iron is covered with a thick coat of paint that has to be renewed every 7 years. This repainting schedule was recommended by Gustave Eiffel himself and is still respected to date.

Why was the Eiffel Tower built?

The Eiffel Tower was built to be one the main attractions at the Paris World's Fair in 1889. That year, the World's Fair covered the entire Champ de Mars in Paris and its focus was the vast constructions in iron and steel that were the great industrial advancement of that time.

First called the 300-meter Tower, it soon took the name of the man who built it, Gustave Eiffel. The Tower opened to the public the same day as the World's Fair, on May 15, 1889.

Controversy over the Tower raged in the art world before and during its construction, but thanks to the audacity of its architecture and design, visitors and Parisians immediately fell under its charm and more than 2 million people toured it in the first year. 

Why is the Eiffel Tower famous ?

Since it was built and opened to the public in 1889, the Eiffel Tower instantly gained an international fame, as it was then the tallest building in the world. Its peculiar iron silhouette instantly traveled across the world in the newspapers. Built for the 1889 Exposition universelle (World's Fair) which took place in Paris, Gustave Eiffel's masterpiece aimed to show to the world the audacity of the French in the industrial and technological domains at the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.

Being the first tower to reach the height of 1,000 feet - twice as any structure previously erected- the Eiffel Tower remained the highest building in the world during 40 years: until the Empire State Building was erected in New York in 1931!

Since 1889, the Eiffel Tower has always been opened for visits (except during the Word War 2 and the Covid-19 Pandemic): nearly 330 million visitors experienced the magic of the ascent -by elevator, or by the stairs - and discovered t8he magnificent view over Paris. Thanks to its universal power of attraction, it's the most visited monument in the world, with nearlty 7M visitors each year.

Is the Eiffel Tower the symbol France?

Its height and unique silhouette floating above the Paris landscape quickly made the Eiffel Tower one of the most popular attractions in Paris. The Tower's destiny is closely linked to that of the city of Paris, the capital of France and the Eiffel Tower's owner.

Since the beginning, the Eiffel Tower drew attention and served as the theatre for numerous events in the life of Paris and France: the grandiose fireworks on July 14 ("Bastille Day"), national-level events and large-scale sporting events.

The Tower can be seen from many and various points around Paris and its suburbs. It is photographed, drawn, filmed, and replicated in all kinds of circumstances. It is the monument photographed by all visitors to Paris. It naturally slipped into the role of symbolizing France in the collective imagination, in movies and graphic arts but also in literature and poetry.

What does the Eiffel Tower represent for French people?

For 130 years, the Eiffel Tower has been a powerful and distinctive symbol of the city of Paris, and by extension, of France. At first, when it was built for the 1889 World's Fair, it impressed the entire world by its stature and daring design, and symbolized French know-how and industrial genius.

A monument known around the world and a unique tourist attraction, the Eiffel Tower has loyally accompanied the people of Paris and its suburbs in their daily life. Rising to a height of 330 meters, it can be seen from all over Paris, and beyond, day and night until 1 am thanks to its lighting, the twinkling illumination at fixed times and its beacon that reaches out to 80 km, at 360 degrees.

The Eiffel Tower has witnessed and sometimes been an actor in important events, both sumptuous and tragic, in France's history. In its early years the Eiffel Tower was a productive laboratory for scientific experiments, in particular for wireless telegraphy, which saved it from destruction after the initially scheduled period of 20 years. The

Tower's destiny is also intimately linked to technical advancements in radio and television. The TDF installations and emitters at its summit broadcast all the digital terrestrial television and radio channels to the 12 million inhabitants of île de France.

Today, the Eiffel Tower's lights are turned off at night to honor the victims of dramatic events around the world. Even more than a symbol, it has become a means of expression for the city of Paris and all of France. 

Why is the Eiffel Tower shaped like the A letter?

We have to first put the Eiffel Tower back in its historical context. It was two engineers who worked in Gustave Eiffel's company who, in 1884, imagined building a metal tower 300 meters high for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris.

These engineers were specialists in large-scale metallic structures like bridges, railway stations, viaducts, etc. It was only natural that the first sketch of the 300-meter Tower, issued from the calculations made by these two engineers, shows a pylon with 4 legs, each made of 4 robust beams linked together by open-web- joists that rise diagonally to meet at the summit.

All these shapes and curves simply recall the biggest viaducts built by Eiffel around the same time!

How many days did it take to build the Eiffel Tower?

The Eiffel Tower was built in record time: 2 years, 2 months and 5 days. From late January 1887 to March 31, 1889. In addition to the technical and architectural prowess , the Tower's rapid construction also represented an unparalleled achievement at that time. 

Is it illegal to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night?

There is nothing that says you can't take photos of the Eiffel Tower at night. Private individuals are free to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night for private use or to share on social networks, for example.

The situation is different for professionals: the Eiffel Tower's various illuminations (golden, sparkles, beacon, and illuminations for special events) are protected by copyright. Any nighttime pictures of the Eiffel Tower used by professionals for professional ends thus require previous authorization from SETE (Société d’Exploitation de la tour Eiffel - the Eiffel Tower management firm) and eventually the payment of usage rights. 

Is the Eiffel Tower a work of art?

In the beginning, no one thought of the Tower as a work of art because it was the work of architects and engineers! The idea for a 300-meter-high tower came, at that time, as part of preparations for the 1889 World's Fair.

A competition was launched for the Fair, in 1886, to "study the possibility of raising an iron tower with a square base of 125 meters per side and a height of 300 meters." Gustave Eiffel's project, designed by the engineers Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, and the architect Stephen Sauvestre , was chosen from among 107 other projects.

How many people died during the construction of the Eiffel Tower?

There were no serious injuries or deaths during the construction of the Eiffel Tower. 

What does Eiffel Tower mean? 

The Eiffel Tower took the name of its creator, Gustave Eiffel , 19th century French entrepreneur and engineer who specialized in building large-scale metal structures (bridges, train stations, viaducts).  

How many people visit the Eiffel Tower every year? 

A must-see for everyone who visits Paris, a little over 6 million people climb the Eiffel Tower every year. The Eiffel Tower is open every day, and even at night, from 9:30 am to 11:45 pm, and in summer from 9:00 am to 12:45 am. 

How many levels does the Eiffel Tower have? 

The Tower has three levels that are open to the public: the 1st level, 2nd level and top. The 2nd floor has 2 levels, as does the summit (an enclosed lower level, and an open-air level above). Our visitors can reach the first two levels either by stairs or elevator. The ascension from the 2nd level to the summit is only possible by elevator. 

What is the Eiffel Tower's weight in tons?

The Eiffel Tower weighs approximately 10,100 tons. The metal framework alone weighs 7,300 tons while the paint that protects the structure "only' weighs 60 tons!
